Russia has revoked the accreditation of a British diplomat over intelligence activities.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) said in a statement on Monday in Moscow.
The diplomat, identified as second secretary of the British Embassy, Janse Van Rensburg, has been ordered to leave the country within two weeks.
The security service said it had documented the diplomat’s attempts to obtain sensitive information during informal meetings with Russian economic experts.
It also said the British diplomat provided false information when entering Russia and was involved in activities posing a threat to the country’s national security.
